ICTs are quickly becoming popular in the world as part of social order, education has cought on and thus plans to intergrate ICTs as part of teaching and learning.

1. Information communicating technologies Strategies
ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It
is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication
technologies. This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other
communication mediums.
PROJECT TITLE: Integrating ICT in education as part of teaching and learning
NAME OF SPONSORING ORGANIZATION: Department of Basic education, MTN, and
Vodacom
PRIMARY CONTACT PERSON: Mr C.J Nkosi (201572236)
Section 1. Project Relevance and Need
-
a) Describe how your project addresses the solicitation priority.
Information and communication technologies are as of now being utilized as a part of
training to help understudies to take in more adequately by furnishing instructors with
access to an extensive variety of new teaching method. These advancements are additionally
being utilized to empower educators to do managerial undertakings all the more
proficiently. This paper diagrams another utilization for data and correspondence
innovations that offers something other than what's expected. This new utilize empowers
understudies to demonstrate to instructors best practices to enhance educating and, in
doing this, it empowers understudies to have more educated and more beneficial access to
educators' information and aptitudes. The paper recommends that, albeit tricky in
application, this approach may speak to a 'quantum jump' in instructive adequacy.

2. b) Demonstrate the need for your project. Describe why it is important to carry out this
work.
Advances in data innovation have revolutionized how individuals impart and learn in about
each part of present day life aside from training. The instruction framework works under
the obsolete needs of an agrarian and mechanical America. The short school day and the
break in the late spring were intended to enable kids to deal with family ranches. Schools
have a continuing mechanical mindset putting understudies in self-assertive gatherings in
view of their age paying little heed to their abilities.
Innovation has neglected to change our schools on the grounds that the instruction
administration framework protects them from the disturbances that innovation makes in
different associations. The administration controls schools maybe more than whatever other
association. Tenets represent where understudies contemplate, how they will learn, and who
will show them. Training direction oversees the connections of on-screen characters in the
framework and hinders the effect of imaginative advancements. Besides the diffuse
arrangement of administration makes various veto focuses to confine advancement.
c) Provide the evidence to support the need for this project (e.g. research
evidence/statistics on your target population and the issue being addressed).

d) Describe how your project complements or adds to othersimilar initiatives.
 Constant workshop training
 Assessment on ICT workshops
 Mandatory participation as per policy stated
 Creating an online repository systemthat requires teachers to use to upload data
such as previous question papers and other educational materials.
 Create a smart system that monitors educational progress through the use of ICTs.
Section 2. Project Description
- Up to 2.5 pages
a) Provide a brief description of the proposed project.
Constant Training workshops on ICTs
Teacher training and continued, on-going relevant professional development are essential if
benefits from investments in ICTs are to be maximized.
Inventing ICT tasks for teachers weekly
A shift in the role of a teacher utilizing ICTs to that of a facilitator does not obviate the need
for teachers to serve as leaders in the classroom; traditional teacher leadership skills and
practices are still important (especially those related to lesson planning, preparation and
follow-up).
Lesson planning incorporating ICTs
Teacher lesson planning is vital when using ICTs; where little planning has occurred, research
shows that student work is often unfocused and can result in lower attainment.
Teachers Creating digital foot printing
This is significant in familiarising teachers with ICTs thus improve their computer skills and
create professional profiles online that depicts their level of expertise and competence.
The use of OERs
This includes but not limited to; mindset, Ariadne Finder, Temoa XPERT,
OER Commons “Find Free-to-Use Teaching and Learning Content from around the
World. Organize K-12 Lessons, College Courses, and more."

4. OER dynamic search
engine
Search many sites from one place
OpenTapestry An excellent search engine which brings open licensed educational
resources from all over the Web.

Section 7. Sustainability Plan

6. - Up to 1/2 page
- Time-limited project funding cannot be used to sustain the operations of organizations
or to carry out ongoing core operational activities that must cease when funding ends.
- A sustainability plan could include:
- sustaining the issue (e.g. keeping awareness of the issue high on the agenda
of all stakeholders including the public, community partners and decision
makers);
- sustaining programs (e.g. using volunteers or integrating one or more related
activities such as an awareness campaign, a support group, or educational
sessions, into one or more existing organizations who agree to take
responsibility for the program once funding ends); and
- Sustaining partnerships (e.g. creating and maintaining productive working
relationships and maximizing the benefits of addressing an issue with a
diverse group of stakeholders).
a) What aspects of your project will be self-sustaining and describe how they will
continue after funding has ended.
